    doghead starter relay mod rebuilt gear reduction starter run away

    Is this starter shimmed properly? A tight starter can run on. Just hang it with a ground jumper for a test.

    Speedo Keeps Stripping

    Binding cable is the most likely cause for stripped speedometer driven gear. A speedo head could also bind. Check the tail shaft for lateral play when you replace the gear. Bad transfer case or transmission bearing is a much less likely cause and would cause lateral movement of the speedometer...

    Speedometer vs GPS

    2-3% positive bias is pretty much standard for automotive speedometers. If you are lucky the odometer is slightly more accurate.

    propane or natural gas injection

    I'm running a 30% stale gas 70% WMO mix in my M1028 and I am getting some carbon. Less now that I use more gas. I've cleaned it in the past with a hot engine/garden hose mist treatment with good result but I'm going to try propane fumigation on the truck for reducing emissions and for the steam...

    M-1028 Paint job, 383 green CARC / Rock Slider installation.

    Don, when I did mine I turned around the STE-ICE connector on the relay bracket. there is enough slack on the harness and turning it around hides it up under the dash pretty well. You can still get at it easy enough if you need it for some reason. One other thing I'd suggest is using a piece of...

    Is this normal.

    This post has the best fuse block layouts, http://www.steelsoldiers.com/233428-post15.html Remember that some of the terminals are not individual and are in fact a buss bar with several fuse terminals directly connected together as one piece. Not every fuse has a wire in and a wire out.

    Is this normal.

    If you pull the fuses and inspect you will likely find dirt and corrosion on the fuse and fuse box terminals. What happens is the fuse connections become resistive and turn into miniature heating elements. This causes the fuse box terminals to deform and become loose and the heat melts the...

    MEP-016D home finally

    Good news and bad news for GreenBull and his first MEP, I cleaned the engine tank and the MEP-016D starts fine with 24v slave and on the first pull with the rope. L3 wiring is there, less the ring terminal. Good news! This thing is blowing ginormous clouds of white smoke. Does not shut down...

    MEP-016D home finally

    I picked my MEP-016D up from Columbus yesterday. Complete set minus one of the output lugs and the gasket for the fuel strainer bowl. Oil and fuel purged and some dust in the fuel tanks that will need to be flushed out.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    It was ether this or do that.:doghead: Just got done. 8 AC 60G glow plugs, 8 connectors, removed the 24 volt resistor and reused the cable end off it to connect to the twelve volt terminal block on the firewall. Starts right up. Nothing swollen or hard to remove. The cable end was resized with...

    M1009 light problem ...Bad Fuse

    If you pull that fuse and inspect it you will likely find dirt and corrosion on the fuse and fuse box terminals. What happens is the fuse connections become resistive and turn into miniature heating elements. This causes the fuse box terminals to deform and become loose. Repeatedly soak that...

    $1.00 Dollar a gallon, Recycled ATF from the local 10 minute oil change

    Don, if you have a source like that and you can pull oil off the top that's good. If you are taking the bottom of the barrel it’s pretty easy and cheap to make an up flow separator for any waste oil collection tank. Gravity and time are the best and cheapest tools for making motor fuel. It's...

    How do I make my wipers reset

    Wiper Park Idler or maybe the Windshield Sprag? Is it a windshield sprag or a Windshield roller clutch on a CUCV? :driver:
